Clean all the way? Wow… One, he left his feet. Two, Anisimov was not the puck carrier, three, blind side hit, four, injury resulted. You don’t see many major plus game misconducts for interference, but this absolutely fit the bill.

Yes but you have to apply the new Nash standard, he allows “rotten” hits as long as they don’t target the head.
I can’t wait for every player being reviewed to bring his Nash video in to the hearing and say how was it worse than this?

I had to do a freeze frame to see for sure. Clune did leave his feet. I don’t think he targeted the head but he definitely contacted it with his left arm. If he didn’t launch himself he wouldn’t have contacted the head at all.

One thing is for sure Clune has cemented his reputation as a dirty player. It seems like every Nashville game I watch he gets a penalty for boarding. I know he has been fined for boarding but I don’t think he’s had a suspension at the NHL level….Yet. Regardless if he gets suspended for this hit or not he needs a wake up call.
